Landcare Research Public Cached Map Tile ServiceThis service provides access to Landcare Research's Public Cached Map Tiles.OGC WMTS1.0.0KVPKVPKVPObserved Erosion SeverityPresent and potential erosion are significant factors for land management and the environmental and economic sustainability of the land. Erosion is classified by type (e.g., sheet, soil slip or gully) and by severity. Erosion Severity is classified from negligible to extreme, but because of the varying nature of the erosion processes sometimes severity refers to percent area coverage of erosion, sometimes by size of erosion features in hectares, and in the case of stream bank erosion by length and lateral extent of erosion features. Erosion severity can be viewed as a generic indication of severity for all types using just the short legend below, or needs to be considered in terms of a specific erosion type with the long legend modified accordingly.lri_observed_erosionimage/pngtext/plainapplication/vnd.ogc.gmlgml165.000000 -48.000000179.500000 -33.000000portalgridnztm2gg:00000g:10101g:20303g:32707g:41015011g:52531617g:656631730g:71181274055g:824125585106g:9487511175208g:109801023356412g:1119652044718820g:123936408414411635g:137878816428873266g:14157611632457796528g:1531527326431156313051g:1663059652822313226097g:171261241305594626952190g:1825225426111392544104376WGS84WGS84:00100WGS84:10301WGS84:22703WGS84:3101507WGS84:42531010WGS84:55663215WGS84:6117127925WGS84:72402552445WGS84:84855115486WGS84:99761023114167WGS84:1019572047233329WGS84:1139204095472653WGS84:12784581859501302WGS84:13156961636619062599WGS84:14313973272738175193WGS84:156280065449764010381WGS84:161256051308941528620758WGS84:172512162617843057841511Topographic Coastline PolygonsThis layer contains coastline & islands from the LINZ 1:50,000 NZTopo database.

Productive capacity depends on physical qualities of the land, soil and environment. Differences between ideal and actual land qualities may be regarded as limitations which will affect productivity and land management options. Limitations considered in the LUC include: susceptibility to erosion, steepness of slope, susceptibility to flooding, liability to wetness or drought, salinity, depth, texture, structure and nutrient supply from the soil, and climate.lri_luc_mainimage/pngtext/plainapplication/vnd.ogc.gmlgml165.000000 -48.000000179.500000 -33.000000portalgridnztm2gg:00000g:10101g:20303g:32707g:41015011g:52531617g:656631730g:71181274055g:824125585106g:9487511175208g:109801023356412g:1119652044718820g:123936408414411635g:137878816428873266g:14157611632457796528g:1531527326431156313051g:1663059652822313226097g:171261241305594626952190g:1825225426111392544104376WGS84WGS84:00100WGS84:10301WGS84:22703WGS84:3101507WGS84:42531010WGS84:55663215WGS84:6117127925WGS84:72402552445WGS84:84855115486WGS84:99761023114167WGS84:1019572047233329WGS84:1139204095472653WGS84:12784581859501302WGS84:13156961636619062599WGS84:14313973272738175193WGS84:156280065449764010381WGS84:161256051308941528620758WGS84:172512162617843057841511Most intensive, sustainable land-use possibleClassification of land according to it's suitability to the most intensive, physically-sustainable land use possible.

The current version LCDB v4.1 contains 33 mainland classes designed to be compatible with earlier LCDB versions.
